His latest raw material is the vinyl political advertisements for candidates in Mexico’s local, state and federal elections.

他最新的材料是墨西哥地方、州和聯邦選舉中候選人以乙烯基塑料製成的政治廣告。

Among the winners was Claudia Sheinbaum, the former Mexico City mayor who will be the nation’s first woman president.

當選者之一是前墨西哥城市長克勞迪婭‧薛恩鮑姆，她將成為該國第一位女總統。

For the last year, Morales has been pulling down the ubiquitous banners, taking scissors to them and sewing them into tote bags, which he sells for between 100 pesos and 600 pesos.

去年，莫拉爾斯一直在拆卸隨處可見的選舉旗幟，用剪刀將它們剪開，並縫成托特包，並以100披索（約177台幣）到600披索（約1063台幣）之間的價格出售。

In Mexico City alone, an estimated 10,000 tons of trash were produced by political publicity this season, according Juan Manuel Nunez, a professor at the Iberoamerican University.（Reuters）
